Aaliyah Monroe thought she’d found love with a rising billionaire, Henry Smith—until he blindsided her with divorce papers on their fourth anniversary, revealing her twin sister, Aurora, as his true love. Betrayed and cast out, Aaliyah drowns her fury in a nightclub, where she meets Orrin Hayes, a billionaire mogul who falls for her instantly. He offers her a deal– “Aaliyah, I’m smitten. You’re fire, and I want to burn. Marry me.” She froze as her heart tripped. “What?” “Not for love, not yet,” he said with his eyes glinting. “A deal. You want revenge on Henry and Aurora? I’ve got the power to crush them. Marry me, and I’m yours—my money, my connections, my everything. We’ll make them beg.” She stared, the whiskey clouded her head but not her judgment. The idea was insane, but it lit a spark. Henry’s face on that stage and Aurora’s smirk—they deserved to fall. And Orrin? He was a weapon, wrapped in charm and danger. “You’re serious?” she asked, testing him. “Dead serious.” He took her hand into his, gently. “I’m half in love with you already. Say yes, and we’ll shake the world.” She laughed, the sound was shaky but real. “You’re crazy. But… okay. Yes.” Aaliyah agreed. But there was one thing she was yet to inform this charming yet mischievous Billionaire suggesting marriage to her– she's carrying her ex husband’s child. Will she successfully use him to climb the ladder and get her revenge despite having a child for her ex-husband? Or will a second chance in love surface?
더 보기Aaliyah’s POV ONE MONTH LATER I stood in front of the mirror, my hands fumbling behind me as I tried to pull the zipper of my dress up. The satin fabric kept slipping through my fingers and I could hear my own frustrated sighs filling the quiet room. My cheeks were flushed already, not from the make-up, but from the sheer struggle of trying to get myself together. It was supposed to be a simple thing; zip the dress, adjust the neckline and fix the bouquet. But of course, my nerves wouldn’t let me. The sound of a knock at the door startled me. I froze, my hands halfway at my back, when the door opened just enough for Orrin to poke his head in. “You done yet?” he asked, his voice warm but teasing. I quickly straightened, caught like a child doing something silly. “Almost,” I mumbled. He stepped inside fully and when his eyes fell on me, his brows lifted. I could see the curve of a smile tugging at his lips. “Almost? Looks like you’re fighting a war with that zi
Aaliyah’s POV I almost couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Just moments ago, I had been sitting alone in the living room, staring at nothing with my fingers brushing against my lips where his mouth had touched me earlier. I’d replayed it in my head a hundred times already, wondering if I was foolish, wondering if maybe I had imagined the way his chest had tightened against mine. And now… now he was here. At my door. His tall figure filled the doorway, his eyes locked on mine. For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Then his voice came, deep, steady, and desperate. “Take me to a hospital. Like you asked before. Please. I want my real memories back.” My heart jumped violently. My lips parted. “What?” I whispered, almost afraid I hadn’t heard him right. He didn’t waver. His jaw tightened, and he repeated the words slowly. “I said take me to a hospital. I need my real memories back. There’s no time.” No time. His urgency pulled me back into motion. My chest rose and fell quickly,
Orrin’s POV“Babe, what were you doing that you didn’t open quicker?”Annabelle stood by the door with that always bright little smile of hers, her dark eyes roaming the room. My throat felt dry; I cleared it and forced out a reply.“I was sleeping, sweetheart.”Her brows pinched slightly as her gaze landed on the table. The untouched plate sat there like proof of my lie. Her smile lingered, but it had a faint edge to it.“Sleeping? Then who was that for?” she asked, pointing to the meal.I leaned back in the chair, willing myself to stay calm. “It was mine. But then I lost my appetite and felt tired so I went to have a short nap.”She stepped closer, her voice softening. “I told you to wait for me before we eat. Maybe that’s why you lost your appetite, trying to eat without me.”A small laugh left me, though my chest was heavy. “Maybe. Should I dish yours out too?”Her eyes brightened immediately, as if nothing was off. “Yes, please. I’ve been starving all day.”I stood, brushing pa
Aaliyah’s POVI didn’t know what to feel or even what to say. My throat was tight, my mind racing with thoughts that only made my chest heavier. Should I tell him everything, spill it all out once and for all? Or should I hold on just a little longer, afraid that if I told him too much, he’d push me away again?He must have seen something in my face because he gave a small nod, almost as if to dismiss the moment. “Forget it,” he muttered. “I’m probably just being paranoid.”My heart sank.He turned slightly toward the table, his voice calmer now. “Just… enjoy your meal. I’ll leave you to it.” He started walking away.“Screw it,” I whispered under my breath, before my courage could fail me.I reached out quickly and grabbed his hand. His steps faltered. He looked down at my hand holding his, then back at my face, confusion in his eyes.“Should I tell you why?” I blurted. “Should I tell you who it is you don’t remember?”His body stilled. Slowly, he turned fully to me, his brows draw
